Abstract
The present invention provides an information providing method which bilaterally enables users and information providers to provide desired information more efficiently.
An information provider initially registers information on a content to be provided into a service provider apparatus and then establishes a mail address. Next, the information provider notifies users of the established mail address by attaching the mail address to actual advertising media. Any user interested in the advertised content transmits a mail message to the electronic mail address. Upon receipt of the electronic mail inquiry from the interested user, the service provider apparatus establishes a home page exclusively available for the corresponding user and then provides desired information through linking registered information to the user specific home page. The service provider apparatus then notifies the user of the URL of the established home page.
